Weekend Recap: Staycation Edition

Happy Monday everyone! I had a wonderfully relaxing, full weekend, which makes Monday slightly more bearable. Slightly.

As I mentioned, we were supposed to be going to Charleston this weekend but we had to cancel, so instead we decided to have a little Staycation right here in J-Ville! We were able to relax and really enjoy our time together, which was so nice!

Friday evening we just grabbed a pizza and relaxed at home watching movies. The next morning we had planned to go to the zoo, but the weather was forecasted to be pretty bad. By the time we would have been heading that way it was looking ominous, it ended up POURING and we even had tornado warnings! So postponing the trip to the zoo was a wise choice.

Before the weather got too bad we were able to make it to Maple Street Biscuit Company for a late brunch!

I loved the decor and it had a really cool vibe! They sell maple syrup and maple coffee, which I got to try, SO good! I want to go buy a bag of it now. But I should probably drink the 12 bags of coffee I currently have in the pantry first.

The food. OMG. So, so good. Definitely not something we could eat all the time because holy calories, but it was a wonderful treat! The biscuits were amazing and those sweet potato fries, OM NOM NOM. I will be dreaming about those all week. I definitely want to go back!

After brunch on the way back home it started pouring buckets, so we spent the afternoon at home and then went to dinner at The Flying Iguana and had yummy chips and salsa and tacos. Then we went to Books-A-Million and read magazines and drank coffee, one of our favorite rainy day activities!

Sunday the weather was MUCH better, so we went to the zoo! I have waaay too many pictures of the animals, so I'll probably do a separate post with those, but for now here's a few!

Had to pose with the Flamingos since I was wearing my Flamingo shirt!

The giraffes were SO ADORBS.

Mint chocolate chip ice cream! My fav.

After the zoo we had a late lunch at our favorite BBQ spot and did some shopping. Sunday evening was relaxing and getting ready for the week! How was your weekend?

All of the food!!!!!!! Especially that mint chocolate chip ice cream! It has been way too long since I have had some. Looks like you guys had a great weekend minus the tornado warnings. I could do without those...ever again.

All that food looks so good! Love the photo with you in the flamingo shirt and flamingos! I totally feel you on the bad weather-we had to worry about severe weather for almost every day last week (and tonight too! Ugh).
